Day 3 Induction

WHOOOOOHOOOOO love the "induction honeymoon"

Scale today 186.4 lbs....... new low

I haven't been down here since 2005.... and that time I didn't stay very long.

I put the pork steak in the crock pot overnight and have been happily graizing on it since this morning..... a bite or two....... chew slowly..... man it is so hard to do. It is SOOOOOO tender and delicious.. totally LC and so far band friendly!

Need to start on my water..... (I'm doing two 30 oz glasses per day, I know I need more but its a good start)

Day 2 Induction

I made it through day one!

I got really hungry about 2p.m. so I ended up opening another can of chunk chicken, and to make sure I didn't backslide I drained the chicken juice into a baggie of cookies that I had in my desk! LOL Worked... I stayed true to plan.

I ended up having crock pot steak with a bit of ranch dressing for dinner and found myself pacing the house about 8p.m...... so I gave it up and went to my bed to watch a web episode of survivor (missed it last week due to the tornados)

So....... Good morning! I made it and now am on day 2. Scale back down to 188 lbs, hoping to see 185 by Friday. (this would put me down 2 for the week)

I did have a SBD pudding cup this morning for breakfast because it is what I had in the fridge and I needed something for my morning metabolism....... Says's its only 6 carbs but thats not including the Sugar Alcohols..... good thing I'm having tuna and chicken today! :)
Must remember my water today...... hmmmmm

Have a great day!!!!!!!

TODAY begins a new start

I have decided to go back to My LowCarb roots TODAY.... Yes, that's right, down in the written word.. Tracy is going back to eating INDUCTIONS LEVELs of carbs.

Back to Atkins basic, chapter 1, day 1, back to what has always worked for me.....

geesh........ I first heard the term Low Carb in 1999..... its when I first read the cherish words of Dr. A..... and it was the first time I actually lost a lot of weight. Now.. there are all levels of Atkins, LowCarb and Low Sugar.... so I will break it down in MY Terms.....

I AIM for less than 20 NET carbs per day (Net carbs are CARBOHYDRATE minus DIETARY Fiber)....... I don't subtract sugar alchohols and such because .. thats just too much science for me.. and SA's make me stall anyway!

So now that I am banded I have the added twist that certain of my LC favs just don't work.. and thats ok..... I can work with it.

The glorious thing is that I am not constantly fighting hunger... and my portions will be smaller so in theory.. I should drop this last 30 lbs pretty quick..... but come on.. this is Self Sabotour T talking..... I have a family dinner planned for Sunday, a girls Trip on the 16th...... and oh ya.. I am married to the KING of sweet teeth...... so I will not beat myself up over it..... but yes....

TRACY IS IN LC DIET MODE.
The scale bounced back up to 190 this morning (due to the salt, icecream and CRAP) I indulged in over the weekend........ oh yeah and I can't remember the last glass of water I've had..... its been all diet pop.......

So 5/5/08: 190 lbs

B: Coffee w/sf creamer (this is something I'm not willing to give up)
L: Canned chicken w/ 1 T of brown spicy mustard, 85 calories, 2 carbs, 13 protein
D: Round steak in the crock pot seasoned with Ranch dry mix and water.

I am currently as I type this half way through my first glass of water...
I am also currenlty hungry so I might have to look in my work stash for a LC snack.. but I may end up having another can of chicken..........

Lets hope for a good loss by Friday!
